The Doctor's Mates Book 1

The Doctor's Mates Book 1

Corinthe Davies

Anastasia thrives on chaos, caffeine, and saving lives during long ER night shifts. She expects blood, broken bones, and the occasional miracle, not a secret call that pulls her into a hidden wolf pack with rules of its own. Medicine meets moonlight as instincts stir and bonds snap into place without asking permission. Three powerful wolves circle her world, each reacting differently to the pull they cannot deny. One offers warmth, one offers loyalty, and one clearly wishes she would disappear. Anastasia carries secrets of her own, and staying detached feels safer than trusting fate. But when destiny growls this loudly, can anyone pretend it is not real?

Study Buddy Part 1

Jen Cooper

Amelia Parker is quiet, cautious, and completely unprepared for college parties—or people. But a promise to her late twin sends her straight into chaos... and into the orbit of Zeke Evans. He’s loud, hot, and perpetually one missed grade away from losing his scholarship. They strike a deal: he’ll be her guide to college life, and she’ll be his tutor. But what starts as tutoring turns into teasing, late-night texts, and unexpected lessons in way more than chemistry. Amelia may be inexperienced, but she’s no pushover. And Zeke? He might just be learning something new—like what it feels like when one girl flips your whole game.

Annalise Miller never imagined her boss would propose—especially not like this. As the executive assistant to one of New York’s most powerful men, she’s spent years keeping his life in order. Now, he wants her to be his wife. No love, just convenience. A partnership of power and luxury. But as their engagement unfolds, Annalise starts to see cracks in the perfect billionaire façade. His past is darker than she expected, and the closer she gets, the harder it is to ignore. Can she marry a man who doesn’t believe in love, or will his secrets send her running before she ever says “I do”?

Kelsie Tate

As she cast a glance over her shoulder, her breath hitched. There he stood. The king.

“Mate.”

When Autumn Blackthorne’s parents die, leaving behind a mountain of debt, she is forced to become an indentured servant to the fearsome King Elijah. When she meets the king himself, her inner wolf screams that she has met her mate. But can the alpha king ever see her as more than a maid?

“I won’t ask again.”

I closed my eyes and signed away my soul to the most dangerous man in England.

“Anything.”

A powerless bastard daughter of the Mage Emperor is sent in the place of her missing elder sister as a decoy bride for a neighboring king. They need his army to win a war against the invading kingdom to the south, but he'll only send aid for a queen.
